Description

This Routledge study examines the 'Thing' across its manifestations as an unnameable monster in literature and film, arguing that the monster's essence lies in its excess and indeterminacy. Rooted in gothic, science fiction, and horror modes, the unnameable monster persists in literary forms as a sublime object exceeding our darkest fears. The book analyses representations of this elusive creature and contends that we must look at the monster rather than through it, confronting ourselves in the process. By tracing how unnameable entities function across different media and genres, this interdisciplinary work reveals how monsters without fixed identities challenge our understanding of fear, the unknown, and artistic expression. Essential for scholars of horror fiction, film criticism, and gothic literature seeking to understand how indeterminacy and the ineffable shape monster narratives.

Key Features

Explores the unnameable monster as a persistent presence across gothic, science fiction, and horror literature and film.

Examines the sublime object as a reminder of fears that exceed our ability to name or comprehend.

Published by Routledge as part of the Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature series.
